United Way Honors College with Newcomer Award

JANUARY 3, 2003 - Sherman College was one of 13 organizations honored recently when the United Way of Spartanburg announced its Newcomer Award recipients.

Newcomer Awards honor companies that have instituted an employee giving campaign within the past year. Sherman College participates in the United Way at Work program, and student interns often provide free spinal screenings at United Way health fairs.

The United Way frequently sets up these health fairs for companies that participate in their fund-raising campaigns. As a member of the United Way at Work group, Sherman College has participated in 15 such fairs this year.

In addition to employee giving and health fair participation, Sherman College has assisted the United Way by hosting a school supply drive and a canned food drive (see page 5) to benefit the organization.

“Our students, faculty and staff love to volunteer and often give of their time to make a greater impact in the Spartanburg community,” says the college’s Director of Community Relations Linda Price. “Our partnership with the United Way has been a wonderful experience.”
